About this episode

Does God love everyone equally?It’s one of the most common assumptions about the love of God—but is that actually what Scripture teaches? In this episode, Dr. Corey and Dr. Ben unpack what the Bible means when it says, “God is love” and why understanding God’s love begins with God Himself, not our own definition of love.Then, the conversation turns to the different ways Scripture describes God’s love—from His general love for creation to His covenant love for His people in Christ. They explore how God’s love relates to His holiness, justice, wrath, and judgment, and why none of God’s attributes are ever in conflict.Discover:Does God love everyone equally?What does “God is love” actually mean?The difference between God’s love for creation and His covenant loveWhy God’s love and His judgment are not in conflictHow Jesus Christ reveals the love of GodWhat God’s unchanging love means for our assurance of salvationHow understanding God’s love changes the way we love others and our enemies Key Passages:John 3:16 • 1 John 4 • Ephesians 1 • John 15Does God love everyone equally?
